Printer Toner Cartridges Explained

What type of cartridge do you use?

There are various types of cartridge you can purchase once the ink in your ink cartridge runs low or is completely over.

OEM Cartridges are made by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). If you own a Brother printer, then the Brother brand is the OEM cartridge for your printer.

Refilled Toner Cartridges have a hole drilled into the cartridge and refilled with ink.

Remanufactured/Compatible Toner Cartridges are original OEM cartridges disassembled, tested and any worn parts replaced. It is then filled with toner and re-assembled.

There are many different levels and qualities of remanufactured, compatible toner cartridges. Some manufacturers will replace a few parts and call it compatible. Some manufacturers will drill a hole, fill it with toner and call it remanufactured. For this reason it is important to choose a reputable dealer of cartridges.
